Always Back To You

[Verse 1]
Saw you in a small town bar
Faded denim
Nervous laugh
You said
“Haven’t we met?”
Like you already knew the past
Deja vu in your crooked smile
Like we’d done this all before
My heart answered to your name
Years and centuries and more
[Chorus]
Every time the world is ending
I just keep on running through
Fire
Flood
And empty heavens
I come back to finding you
When the stars burn out their patterns
When the sky forgets its blue
Every life
In every chapter
I’m always back to you
(I’m always back to you)
[Verse 2]
Dust road
Different century
You in white
I’m late again
Church bells shaking in the wind
You said yes
I said amen
Then a war came
Took our town
Stole your breath
But not your song
I still hear it in my chest
Pulling me where I belong
[Chorus]
Every time the world is ending
I just keep on running through
Fire
Flood
And empty heavens
I come back to finding you
When the stars burn out their patterns
When the sky forgets its blue
Every life
In every chapter
I’m always back to you
(oh, back to you)
[Bridge]
[Soft choir humming under lead vocal]
Maybe we were written
In a hand that can’t erase
Maybe we’re the echo
Time can never quite replace
I lose you
Then I find you
On a crowded street
A wooden pew
Different names
A thousand faces
Same old you
[Chorus]
Every time the world is ending
I just keep on running through
Fire
Flood
And empty heavens
I come back to finding you
When the stars burn out their patterns
When the sky forgets its blue
Every life
In every chapter
I’m always back to you
[Guitar Solo]
[Soaring lead guitar mirrors the chorus melody
Violins answering in high harmony; drums swell
Then drop back into half-time groove]
[Final Chorus]
(Oh) every time the world is ending
(Choir: every time) I just keep on running through
Fire
Flood
And empty heavens
(Choir: I come back) to finding you
When the stars burn out their patterns
When the sky forgets its blue
Choir: Every life
In every chapter
Lead: I’m always back to you
Choir: Always back
Always back
Lead: I’m always back to you
(yeah, I’m always back to you)
